Saus.Guru’s Heat Ladder Explained

Climb Saus.Guru's Heat Ladder:

Your Stairway to Spice Heaven 🔥

Spicy food aficionados, buckle up!

We’re ditching the boring and slightly ambiguous Scoville scale and introducing our own take on scaling with our experience-based Heat Ladder. Forget sweat-inducing misleading numbers and embrace the giggles as we navigate you through our capsaicin safari.

The Scoville Scale - Bitterly Old School

Wilbur Scoville cooked up his eponymous scale back in 1912, and by now most of us know it’s a bit like your great-grandfather trying to use Snapchat – it doesn’t quite work.

Why? It’s subjective and inconsistent, varying wildly based on people’s heat tolerance. Plus, it’s often misleadingly used in marketing, turning what should be a delicious experience into an unpredictable tongue fire drill or a big dopamine and serotonin disappointment.
 
Fancy frying your brain cells with more Scoville trivia and its spicy shortcomings? Scoot over to our blog about it here. [But don’t say we didn’t warn you about it being boring!]  

Navigating our Heat Ladder

On our website and on our products, we use no the Scoville references. Simply because it’s bullocks. Yes, Old School Hot Heads, we hear ya; go cry to mama about it.
 
We do as follows: Every sauce is carefully classified by its level on the Heat Ladder, accompanied by a description that will tickle your funny bone and prepare your taste buds. Without the usual heat numbers there are no misleading claims. We like to keep it simple, clean and honest.
 

Why our Heat Ladder is the Sizzling Hot Stuff

Indeed, we’re tooting our own chili horn here. We believe it’s hotter than your average Sir-Reap-Alot mixtape. Here’s why.
The Heat Ladder doesn’t just tell you how spicy a sauce is by claiming meaningless numbers – it tells you what kind of wild ride your tongue is in for. We give you consistent, objective, spice experiences that tie into your pleasure sensors rather than your pain ones.
 
The Heat Ladder is your guide through the exotic, thrilling sensations of our sauces. It’s about the joy of the journey, not just the heat of the destination.
 
Saus.Guru’s Heat Ladder is your fiery compass through our spicy offerings. Forget the confusing Scoville scale and embrace our objective and tongue-tingling approach. From mild heat whispers to full-on fire alarms, we’ve got something to suit every spice level.
 
Our ladder is all about maximizing your pleasure and minimizing your milk bill. So, dip into our wide range of super tasty sauces and let your taste buds cha-cha through our flavorful universe!
